cloud computing is the latest technology that involves distributed computation over the internet. it meets the needs of users through sharing resources and using virtual technology. the workflow user applications refer to a set of tasks to be processed within the cloud environment. scheduling algorithms have a lot to do with the efficiency of cloud computing environments through selection of su...

abstract— in this paper we have tried to develop an altered version of the artificial bee colony algorithm which is inspired from and combined with the meta-heuristic algorithm of firefly. in this method, we have tried to change the main equation of searching within the original abc algorithm. on this basis, a new combined equation was used for steps of employed bees and onlooker bees. for this...

in the science of operation research and decision theory, selection is the most important process. selection is a process that studies multiple qualitative and quantitative criteria, related to the science of management, which are mostly incompatible with each other. the multi criteria selection of a renewable energy portfolio is one of the main issues considered in multi criteria literature. i...

the main aim of this paper intends to discuss the solution of fuzzy sylvester matrix equation

this paper proposes a novel hybrid algorithm namely apso-bfo which combines merits of bacterial foraging optimization (bfo) algorithm and adaptive particle swarm optimization (apso) algorithm to determine the optimal pid parameters for control of nonlinear systems. to balance between exploration and exploitation, the proposed hybrid algorithm accomplishes global search over the whole search spa...

global optimization methods play an important role to solve many real-world problems. flower pollination algorithm (fp) is a new nature-inspired algorithm, based on the characteristics of flowering plants. in this paper, a new hybrid optimization method called hybrid flower pollination algorithm (fppso) is proposed. the method combines the standard flower pollination algorithm (fp) with the par...

the scheduling problems are the non-polynomial problems-hard (np-hard), is to solve it, and meta-heuristic innovative method compared with the exact method require less time and memory.in this research, developed imperialistic competitive algorithm used to solving the single-mode resource-constrained project scheduling problem.also the basic feasible solution algorithm used in order to increase...

in this paper the control algorithm for controlled civil structures subjected to earthquake excitation is thoroughly investigated. the objective of this work is the control of structures by means of the pole placement algorithm, in order to improve their response against earthquake actions. successful application of the algorithm requires judicious placement of the closed-loop eigenvalues from ...
